What a great experience with David and Cathy from Elite Construction !!! Our master bathroom was dated and sad and now it's gorgeous. As with any large project there were a couple little hiccups but they promptly took care of everything and made sure everything was up to our expectations. They were always in communication with what was going to happen next and everyone we met was top notch. We absolutely will use them again for any future projects and we LOVE OUR NEW BATHROOM !!!

We had staircase that was a carpeted eyesore and we had Elite update and transform it into a truly stunning and grand stairway that gets compliments from everyone who enters our home. Everyone at Elite was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend them. The quality of work was so amazing that we added on a tile job and that turned out amazing as well!

We had the most scary/horrible experience with this company. 12 hours after they left, the stain was chipping and peeling off of our stairs and handrails. You could even see the dark stain underneath the white paint, that they sloppily applied on the risers of the stairs. We were billed $3,200 for refinishing/staining our stairs and installing wrought iron railing. They never did anything in that contract except install the railing. There were over 100 chips on the stair treads and handrail within a month of it being finished. I sent many pictures of the damage. They refused to fix it and instead threatened me repeatedly for not paying them in full, even though the contracted services were never done. I was 9 months pregnant at the time and they totally took advantage of me not having a lot of construction knowledge or the ability to watch them like a hawk. I am very upset I even had these men in my home. Seeing how they treated me after I told them their work needed to be corrected was scary. I started getting harassing phone calls, emails and voicemails. He took every shortcut and then him and his wife harassed me for months. This was beyond upsetting since I had a newborn I was caring for at the time. They never even apologized. It scares me that I was alone with these people in my home, considering the way they harassed me afterwards. Please beware of this company. Don’t let them in your home at all. They are not safe. (The great reviews you see are from family members and friends. I found that out by looking around on social media. I wish so much I had done that before I assumed they were great because of the reviews I read.)

We really strive to please all customers regardless of the costs to us. However, in this case we were not given the opportunity to even address any known complaints. Once we completed this job, we received a text from the client about some issues they had, we believe due to their large dog that went up and down the stairs prior to the finish being cured. The SAME day, we called and text the client to go back and add extra protection for the dog and they refused. They refused many efforts for us to come back to their property and refused to pay for services rendered. Regarding this client's claim of harassment and threats, they are completely unmerited. All communicates are documented. We filed a Notice to Owner, Claim of Lien, hired an attorney to send them a 20-day demand letter prior to filing a small claims case for non-payment of services rendered. All communications are well within the Construction Laws of Florida. Regarding the reviews are only from family and friends. None of them are family, however, we aim to make friends and build long-term relationships with all clients/customers and many times they become our friends on social media sites after the projects are completed.

Excellent communication, fair pricing (less than others), cost conscious, but quality subcontractors and work performed on time. David kept the project moving, and provided consistent on-site supervision. Weekend work when necessary. Maintained a great relationship by keeping us aware of next steps, what to expect, forewarning on required decisions, providing a good network of stone, door, electrical, lighting and fan suppliers.

Description of Work: Loved working with Dave and Les, really wonderful and professional men of integrity. They replaced our wood staircase railing with wrought iron balusters and it is absolutely beautiful. They were very clean, and worked quickly yet efficiently. Did i mention they were clean?!! They took off their shoes each time they were in our home which was a huge bonus to us! We will be using them again in the near future for sure.

Went well
Description of Work: Elite construction helped with trim carpentry and minor repairs to flooring and transition from hardwood to tile. Several areas of drywall repair were repaired as well. They repairs damage to a window sill and matched the profile of the existing sill perfectly. The owner is very accommodating and helpful and worked to get things accomplished in a rush time frame for us to move in on our timeframe. The scope of work was not huge, however we had a limited timeframe for completion. I appreciated their willingness to help us that way as well. At times going above and beyond the call of duty, helping with items like putting out trash since we were in another city and trying to accomplish minor updates from a distance. Greatly appreciated their efforts on our behalf. Will use their expertise in the future as well for larger projects we have planned.

We are very sorry that the price was higher than you expected. We probably were your first estimate and would love for you to get other bids for the same scope of work. I think you will find out that our pricing is very competitive and our service and quality is unmatched.

From the very beginning this entire process from finish to end was professional, easy & satisfying. Contacted this company through Angieslist and was promptly responded to. Within 2 days had an estimator out here ( Craig who was very nice) along with the owners son Jeremy Two days later, a quote was sent via an email. I accepted the quote on a Thursday and the work started Tuesday 9/10/13 morning. Both David and his son arrived in the morning and Jeremy started & completed the job in 1 day. Incredible work ethics and quality. The molding seriously could not be any better. Very professional and very neat. David came by again in the afternoon to check on the job. The next day David arrived in the morning and waited for the painters to arrive. The painter was precise, clean and very neat. Spent the entire day caulking, covering nail holes and painting. He did an amazing job. Thursday morning another painter arrived to finish the job ( I had them paint and fill holes in my existing baseboard). This painter spent about 3.5 hrs and took care of all the baseboard along with some wall paint that needed touched up. He was great. Over all this entire experience with Elite Construction was an absolute pleasure. I will be using them again in the future for more work. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a professional, reliable, trusting contractor in your home. THANK YOU for a job well done!

Arrived on time for initial quote. Accommodated my changing schedule. Personnel were professional, superb behavior. No foul language, never on the mobile phone, cleaned the house at days end. After the job was finished, the garage was cleaned to the point you never knew they stored the molding and trim.

On 5-31-12, the owner of Elite Construction, Mr. David Furukawa arrived on time for our intial meeting for custom design for cabinetry and ceiling. He designed the projects and sent them to us via email with a proposal. The work was scheduled and completed in a timely and professional manner. While ALL of the work was exceptional, the custom trim design for the formal dining room ceiling was beyond my dreams. It turned out gorgeous; model home gorgeous!!!

I called for 3 estimates to take out a tile fireplace surround, replace with a wood and stone surround and build custom bookcases on either side. I also wanted a plain column completely trimmed out, crown moulding throughout the kitchen and an archway door perfectly trimmed. David Furukawa gave me an excellent price on the entire job. The quote he submitted was exceptional. It was completely itemized so there was no question about how he arrived at the estimate. It also gave me the opportunity to decide if there was some item I chose to "do myself". He came over to do the estimate on the same day I called, and when the project began, they were punctual and professional. There was great communication throughout the process and I am extremely happy with the end result. It was a pleasure to have met these gentlemen, and I am looking forward to having them come back to put in my wood floors! I highly recommend to anyone - get three estimates. . . and I also highly recommend David and Les at Home Enhancers.
Description of Work: We had a tile fireplace surround removed and replaced with custom wood mantle, stone, and marble hearth. Custom bookcases on either side and a lot of trim work throughout the kitchen area.
